This is a web tool to generate SECRETKEY and also have a Django package that does this simply with a command. Djecrety is a Django secret key generator. This is a web tool to generate SECRETKEY and also have a Django package that does this simply with a command. If you put this in your project, each separate Django process you have will have a different key. This means for instance that if you run multiple concurrent Django processes (or in separate servers), they will get different secret keys, so stuff signed from one instance won't work on another. Generate migration files without Django version and timestamp header. Secretkey – a random key for the SECRETKEY setting; docsversion – the version of the documentation: 'dev' or '1.x' djangoversion – the version of Django, e.g. '2.0.3' Please also see the rendering warning as mentioned for startapp.

For Python 3, this should work:

python -c 'import random; result = '.join([random.choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)') for i in range(50)]); print(result)'

I think you should use parenthesis while using print method in Python 3
python -c 'import random; print('.join([random.choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)') for i in range(50)]))'

Generate A Django Secret Key Generator

Seems exceedingly unlikely the random package contains a sufficiently secure random. Generate rsa private key from p and q.

In Linux you can read from /dev/urandom or /dev/random(slower) and see someone suggesting random.SystemRandom which is probably more portable.
